Are your legs tired yet? Chase Q&A now closed! · 1:39am Jun 20th, 2014
One question per post.
Be specific.
Be to the point. Please, no walls of text, makes it very difficult to find the actual question.
No trolling.
Be respectful of the characters.
Be creative.
Bucky, I have one question for you. How are you feeling?
I sit down after an hour long walk and immediately get a notification of this blog, with its title
I'll be back with a question after I finish catching up in The Chase. YOU WRITE FAST.
2220315
Bucky: I have one word for you: Depressed.
To Twilight or another that can explain: The rating system for unicorn power levels seems to be a bit generic. What else is there included in the system to donate for differing extremes of power? The borders from one tier to the next seem like they would be rather far apart or not take basic power into account.
Berry, do you have more hope of Bucky recovering since he allowed himself to show weakness in front of you and Derpy?
2220327
Donate?
I do not understand this question, I am sorry.
Reword it perhaps?
2220332
Berry: I think its been the strongest he's been so far. Letting go is hard to do. It is good to know he trusts us.
I want to know 2 things 1. do you thank Scoots has loveing parents or that shes an orphan?, 2. do ya thank she will fly someday?
Dinky and Pina: Any food you've been introduced to in the Isles that you kids like?
2220333 Err, I'm not sure what word was supposed to be there, I think denote maybe, indicate and show would be synonyms at least.
2220339
In this universe Scoots is an orphan who is cared for by the flock. (Rainbow Dash in particular)
Will she fly? We shall see...
2220343
I didn't understand any of it.
2220342
Dinky: Gratin potatoes.
Pina: Neeps and tatties. But Berry tells me that they have to kill the neeps with a hammer first. I think she's pulling my leg.
Derpy: What was going through your mind when you went searching for Keg?
Diamond Tiara: How are you getting along with the CMCs now?
2220360
Derpy: Nothing. I sorta blanked out for a moment there. Everything got red and hazy.
2220352 Oh, well then. The spell tiers/classes of unicorns seems rather basic, what is there in the system the shows the strength of the unicorn within the tier? Such is showing the difference between a class one that can barely levitate a pencil and one that can juggle a circus for example.
2220368
Diamond Tiara: We don't talk much. I am still trying to earn their respect.
2220356
Pina: Nothing to worry about unless you start wanting to eat bugs with Sentinel.
2220371
A type one can barely levitate anything. Hence the term type one. They are magically stunted. A type two can manage a few hundred pounds with training. Type threes have extreme potentials. Type fours are currently unknown, and type fives can move things like moons and suns.
Spike, how do you handle all of the ponies mentality/ instincts when they are so different from your own dragon ones?
2220386 Ahh, so in a way it is a rather limited system as it doesn't have much flex to it. Such that you could have one pony that could juggle building with levitation but magically have no ability to do any other spells, and another that can cast a near library's worth of spells but with no real power behind them. Think a study might be needed into that sometime?
Side-note: This is partially from interest and partially from rule nitpicking as I've found one solid system for anything quite often has those outliers that confuse people such as a being of a low power rating consistently trouncing those of vastly higher ones due to some flaw in the system.
2220386
We already know Bucky's a badly wired type 4, Sparkler and Rising are 2s with the potential to be 3s, and I assume Luna and Celestia are 5s. Where's Twilight fall on the scale? (or is 5 basically "alicorn level" and the power variance is as wide as 1 through 4 inclusive?)
2220403
Spike: I talk about my greedy feelings before they become a problem.
2220413
Twilight is a 5+
Element of magic. Her full potential is not yet known.
Dear Ripple, how are things going with fitting into your new herd?
2220419
Ripple: I am still trying to get to know my new herd. The grey mare seems nice.
Loch: What are your feelings toward Rising Star?
2220440
Loch: He was one of the few males that has ever treated me decently. Bucky being the other.
Celestia & Luna: I'm wondering how much time you've spent in college- or building colleges. I could imagine the both of you easily earning your Thaumaturgical Doctorates if either one of you took the time to take the exams and write the thesis. Do either of the two of you hold any of these titles or degrees?
2220453
Celestia: Neither of us are formally educated. At least not in magic. We had to discover everything we know. Luna pretty much wrote the book on magical theory and then Star Swirl refined it to the art that it is now known. I contributed a knowledge of destructive magics.
Princess Luna: Luna, I'm going to wager a guess that you may remember some things from the past a bit better than Celestia. If so, then I have a question to ask you. If you found someone in Equestria selling their foals into marriage, against the foals wills and to a stallion who beat his mares, what kind of punishment would you deliver to them?
2220481
Luna: That used to be a legal practice. Celestia was the one who changed that while I was away. Arranged marriages were common. There were different social classes and different laws applied to each. You had indentured servants, born into debt. You have serfs and peasants. Land owners. Nobles. And then among the nobles you had certain ranks like armigers that the laws didn't apply to, at least not in the regular sense. They provided justice. Or they were supposed to. They were supposed to look after the weak and badly oppressed.
Celestia, what made you change the practice of arranged marriages?
2220498
Celestia: They still happen. But ponies can no longer be forced into them.
It had to be changed. We had houses snatching up every available mare they could get, even if there was no plans to breed them, just to deny the other houses.
It caused population problems.
To Derpy: What is the difference between a chase for fun and a chase to hurt?
2220524
Derpy: One is fun... and the other hurts?
To pina if you are atill awake, have you gotten your cutie mark? If so how dod you get it?
2220533
Pina: It is a palm tree. It just showed up one day! What does it mean?
(Author's note. This is explained in the story)
To keg smasher, how/what do you feel about being essentially dominated by derpy?
To Celestia: Cadence was a pegasi before ascending. Did you ascend too? If so, what were you and Luna?
2220544
Celestia: Luna and I are Alicornus Majorus. Cadance and Twilight are Alicornus Minors.
Luna and I were born this way.
2220541 sorry keg i meant no disrespect. Do you have any desire for revenge?
2220548
Keg Smasher: Have ye gone daft? Have you see what that unicorn can do?
2220537
Keg Smasher: I wouldn't call it being dominated ye ken
(It wouldn't let me edit the last post, which had a serious typo)
To Bucky, if a position of power similar to keg smashers was forced upon you, what would you do? How do you think you would react?
2220572
Bucky: I think that has already happened. The book slipped into my trunk about shadowy creatures. I think Celestia wanted me to be here. Hard to say.
To Keg Smasher: Are you going to try and draw in mercs and the like by offering a bounty on those shadow wolves?
2220685
Keg Smasher: Why would I call in ponies or mercs I don't know and don't trust? Have you seen how mercs treat the locals? I know... I used to be one.
